After prepping your face with a primer, apply the foundation to your face. Along with your normal skin tone foundation, add a few pumps of white foundation to brighten up your face for clown makeup. Apply it on both your face and neck.

Highlight under the eyes as well as eyelids with white face paint. Set everything with translucent powder. Now, set your eyebrows with a brow cream and brush.

For eye makeup, apply red eyeshadow. To form a gradient, apply darker tones from up to down. Blend everything perfectly. Add eyelashes to complete the eye look.

Contour your face. And start making clown-like red lines on your cheeks, extending them above your eyebrows. Use similar red face paint for your nose, and also for outlining your lips. Now, add some red glitter glue to your nose tip. Fill your lined lips with a lighter shade of red and finish off your look with matching hair and outfit.

This Halloween you can also opt for a classic The Mask makeup look, which is again quite easy to do.

Start by painting your face green. Cover your entire face, ears, and neck with green face paint. Then highlight your eyes with a darker shade of green and yellow eyeshadow. Apply similar shades on the lower lashline. Further, outline your eyebrows with black.

Draw black wing eyeliner to enhance the shape of your eyes. Add long black fake eyelashes to complete your eye makeup.

Next, contour your face with darker green tones. Finish off The Mask makeup with a dark green lip color. Wear a themed outfit to achieve the best Halloween look.

Start this makeup look straightaway with blue, gray, and teal face paint. Blend them all, to form a smooth blue base on your face, neck, and other parts of your chest. Seal everything with white powder.

Now, take a dark blue shade and draw the jawline. Apply similar dark shades around your eyebrows as well as across your chest and neck. Highlight all the high points of your face with dark shades of blue and also enhance your bone area.

Next, apply dark blue on your eyes as well as on the lower lash line. Also, apply white liner to enhance the eyes. Draw curvy bold black eyebrows like Emily. Now, apply thick black eyeliner, followed by false eyelashes. Finally complete your makeup with a dusty pink lip color.

Wear a blue wig and matching accessories to achieve a perfect Halloween look.

Start with your base makeup. Apply the foundation and set it with translucent powder. Now, start drawing the skull outlines on your face. First, use light pink eyeshadow to draw these outlines. Then, darken them with deeper pink tones. Also, apply these pink colors to your eyes.

Then, set your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Now, apply pink colors on the nose and darken it with purplish tones.

It’s time to draw teeth. Take white face paint and start making teeth on your face. Set them with translucent powder. After this, fill all the remaining plain areas with light pink tones.

Now, draw outlines of white teeth designs with black pen eyeliner. After outlining them, darken your eye makeup with purple and black eyeshadow. Give the final touches by highlighting your skull lines in black and wearing a matching pink wig.
